<—Spoilers for this episode.—>

Yes, I’ve been watching the show. Yes, I LOVE it. And, yes, I’ll talk a little about the season as a whole when it wraps it. But, this couldn’t wait.

Kids: If someone wants to stuff live bees up your vagina. Say NO!

Yeah, I remember that bee-gina scene from the manga, but still…Yikes! Did you see how many bees came out? Kuin Hachisuka may not be the most evil villain in the My Heroverse, but she’s definitely the rudest! Because you don’t get much ruder than shoving bees in you friend’s hoo-hah.

Okay… So the final villain is The Devil.

Not exactly the most unique Big Bad we’ve seen, right? Look, let’s be honest here: Imu’s basic. Really basic. Let’s go down the evil trope checklist.

Devil Wings
Pitchfork
Pentagram
Spooky Magic Book
Dressed In All Black
No Pants

This is who’s supposed to be the final villain of the series? This boring caricature of pure evil? Yes. Evil. Because he/she literally says “Evil”. So much for subtlety.

Does Imu’s Satan schtick recontextualize Luffy into God? Or, at the very least, the living embodiment of good? Nika’s always laughing. Pure Happiness VS Pure Evil. Is that what One Piece is heading toward? Sure, there’s nothing wrong with that. Good VS Evil is a classic storytelling theme. But! Luffy’s goofy cartoon Nika form’s getting stale and Imu’s so dang darn boring that for the first time ever… I’m not looking forward to the end of One Piece!

It’s the skeleton guy who turns out to be a DEADbeat dad. Should’ve seen that coming.

Brook was a Celestial Dragon?! Gunko’s his daughter?! What the heck’s going on here? Well, besides Oda giving us an entry into the Celestial Dragon’s backstory. Honestly, I’ve never thought about Brook’s pre-pirate life. I just assumed he was from the same Blue as his previous pirate captain, Yorki. Sorry, Usopp fan(s), your bud’s arc just got hijacked by the Soul King.

Maybe I should’ve seen something like this happening. Gunko’s a woman. And we all know by now Oda goes light on women fighting seriously. And that’s on the small occasions when they do. Nami and Robin’s too weak to pull off a believable win against Gunko, so instead we get a possible redemption arc for our no pants faux god.

I heard Gunko’s Mom is also a living skeleton named Kate Moss.

Not only can King Imu communicate with those who (I assume) he lent his immortality power to, but he can control their bodies when necessary. There’s no leaving Imu’s Gang. You get in, you in for life!

You mess with Ron(ja) of us, you mess with all of us!

No, not Ronja! Her positivity in the face of death is heartwarming. She’s, by far, one of my favorite Elbaph characters in this arc just from this chapter alone. Prediction time: Sanji saves Ronja. Either him or Spider-Man. Hasn’t Disney bought Shonen Jump already? No? Sanji it is then.

Finally! We have a possible weakness to the Celestial Dragons’ immortality: Conqueror’s Haki. Geez! Is there anything haki can’t do? I’m positive my dentist used haki to pull out my wisdom teeth. Wish I could haki away her invoice.

And the museum, and the gym, and that over-priced Starbucks that never gets my name right!

It’s the penultimate episode and our heroes are locked in an epic battle with the fate of the universe on the line. Gee? I wonder if someone’s gonna die?

Yes. The answer’s yes.

Can you guess who? It’s gotta be someone the audience knows and loves deeply BUT not someone too important as to generate backlash and fake internet rage. You know what? Let’s just skip the “love” and go with someone whose been a part of the series for awhile and won’t be missed.

Armand. It’s time to go, buddy.

That’s right. King Armand of Sadida uses the energy boosting power of the Eliasphere in order to defeat the Necros invading his country. What a chad (Kids still use the term “chad”, right?)!

An authoritarian government invades a sovereign nation, forcing its citizens to work for them as slaves while destroying their places of knowledge to keep them ignorant and easier to control.

Thank goodness One Piece is fictional and that type of thing never happens in the real world.

The Celestial Dragons have got the whole conquering other nations role down pact, huh? Guess they’d had plenty of practice. Elbaph’s school and library are in danger of being destroyed. Something tells me Loki also wouldn’t mind if those two buildings were burned down. Protecting them is gonna become just as important as rescuing the kidnapped children. Mark my words!

Glad Robin’s gonna fight Sommers, but she’s at a huge disadvantage fighting someone with thorn powers. Maybe her and Chopper can pull off a win. Guard Point’s pretty durable. Then again, someone’s gotta save the kids, so I guess that’s gonna be Chopper. Just kick the little brats away with Monster Point and pray they don’t tattle.

The Celestial Dragons are gearing up for the final war!

After Dr. Vegapunk Stella revealed a secret group wanting to destroy the world, Monkey D. Dragon and the rest of the Revolutionary Army begin perparing for all-out war against the World Government. Turns out, the Celestial Dragons are doing the exact same thing.

Going by what Gunko and Sommers said in this chapter, they want Elbaph’s warriors on their side during the inevitable final battle, whether Warland’s citizens want to or not. Hence, why the Holy Knights are kidnapping Elbaph’s kids. Just take the kids as hostages and Elbaph’s adults will do whatever the Celestial Dragons want. Simple, yet effective. Also evil. Very VERY evil.

This all confirms most, if not all, Celestial Dragons with higher status know the truth about the world. Or, at least, they know enough that they have to work to maintain their godly status and that the world will indeed be flooded at some point. And, they need to make sure it happens, no matter what.

And that’s why its rude to point at people, kids.

I was not expecting to see the funniest moment of the season during this episode!

Yugo putting Amalia’s horny butt on standby was glorious! Ha!

Look. I don’t hate Amalia as a character, but she’s got to calm the hell down when it comes to Yugo. Last season, she’s all ready to ride Oropo’s dick JUST because he looks like a grown-up Yugo. Never mind the guy kidnapped her pregnant BEST FRIEND and her son. Never mind he’s clearly the bad guy there to be stopped. Amalia immediately trusts the Big Bad of last season just because he’s hot. I’m surprised Amalia wasn’t slipping on the large vine she’s riding because she probably uses it every night while thinking about Oropo.

Fortunately, Yugo’s head’s in the game and totally focused on defeating the Necros. That’s what this episode was about: Yugo reuniting with the Brotherhood of the Tofu in order to save the world…again.

Of course, the Percedal Family mistaking Adult Yugo for Oropo was a treat to see. They’re all on board for the final battle. If not for anything but using it as a distraction from thinking about the traveling Flopin.

What the heck was Rocks D. Xebec doing in Elbaph?!

I don’t think he was there on vacation. I wonder…is the reason Rocks was there the same reason the Celestial Dragons want the island? Or, maybe Big Mom’s Ponegliff was originally from Elbaph and Rocks was just there to read it? Hmm…maybe both!

There’s definitely something special about and/or on Elbaph related to the world’s history. That Elbaph flashback is gonna be insane, Y’All!

Jimbei, stop! That’s not water. It’s Chardonnay!

Oda just low-keyed dropped the oldest “man-made” structure ever seen in the manga.

THREE-thousand years old! What’s a building that ancient doing in Elbaph? And could it be related to why the Holy Knights want Elbaph on their side? And maybe that mysterious reason is also why the World Government doesn’t just blow up the island like it did with Lulusia? Hmm… There’s definitely more going on here that we’re lead to believe.

I love seeing Jinbe, Brook, Nami, and Usopp trying to help. Especially, Jinbe and Brook. Their battle/life experience is really coming in clutch in pinpointing what needs to be done and who could be at the root of all of this chaos. Even, Usopp’s trying to be brave. Good for you, Usopp! Let’s see how long it lasts (I give it two chapters before he’s freaking out).

We ain’t afraid of no ghosts…or skeletons…or dragons.
